A light-filled atrium courtyard brings in defused north light, while a wall of windows reveal a backyard retreat--complete with a pool, raised spa, and covered patio off the primary suite. The open dining area continues the seamless indoor-outdoor connection with original sliding doors leading to the private outdoor oasis.If you're searching for an untouched mid-century home that preserves its original charm without disruptive renovations, May Drive is the perfect canvas for your vision. This is a rare chance to bring a mid-century masterpiece back to life.
